As if parenting wasn't hard enough, throw the world into lockdown and it's a whole different ballgame. Kids are cooped up inside with nowhere to let out their energy, which means tantrums are more likely to happen, especially when it comes to food. Children are picky eaters at the best of times. You know the drill... they ask you to make them something, and once it's ready after you've slaved away at it, they're no longer in the mood for it. Why? Who knows. My Kid Can't Eat This is an Instagram account that collects pictures of perfectly good food submitted by parents, along with the reasons their kids came up with for why it was not edible. All of them, of course, totally ridiculous. If they're not too triggering for you, take a look at some of our favorite ones below and see if you can relate!
